Olly
On this tab
Olly was a young man from the North who, after losing his family in a wildling raid, arrived at Castle Black and became a recruit of the Night's Watch. There he was soon noted for his skill with a bow, in a life shaped by his distrust of those who had taken his home from him.
Origins
Attack on His Village
Olly was returning to his village in the North with his father when the wildlings fell upon it. Ygritte killed his father and Styr killed his mother, but they let the boy live so he could carry word to Castle Black that the wildlings were coming.
He delivered the warning and, once at Castle Black, stayed on: he joined the Night's Watch and began training alongside the black brothers. He claimed to have been the best archer in his village, able to kill a rabbit from a great distance.
